Written by Dr. Amir Faisal (pesantrenvirtual)A new chapter of Islam has been formed, ukhuwah (brotherhood) between Muslims and the other one is the most basic joint in order to form a strong Islamic community, which is Islam that uphold justice for all God's creatures, which spread Islam to anyone compassion for all humankind, Islam provides a sense of peace to pemelukknya, for the brothers, for your own flesh and blood brothers, the brother of one country, and for humanity, whoever he is, whatever they are.Allah revealed Islam as 'hudan linnaas', guidance for mankind. As a guide, Islam creates a new nature of human thought and belief that are no longer just stuck on the borders and lines of kinship. As a religious nature, high penjunjung humanity of mankind, Islam does not deny the pure relationship in human beings which is formed on the territory of origin in common descent and origin. The more people close to the equation with one of these things, they feel the meeting, the proximity of the inner knot tying.Pasa the other hand, Islam creates a feeling close to others, the new religious spirit: faith and co-religionists, despite the departure from inequality in the region of origin ancestry or origin. This spirit is called ukhuwah al-Islamiyah, the brotherhood of the common creed. Population of the Arabian Peninsula in general, until the early days of Prophethood of Muhammad (peace be upon him), more form a bond between them from the side of the pedigree breeds. The closer the line of descent between them, the stronger the rope comradeship and fellowship. Highest Izzah (kemuliayan) for this community is dedicated to the tribe. Auz and Khazraj, two Arab tribes population of Yathrib (Madinah), representing the picture above.The interests of a person is representing the interests of the tribe. Dedicated members of the tribes is to tribes respectively. Because of a very high tribal fanaticism, every person on tribal pride, and when there was no interest except on behalf of tribal interests, the war, hatred and hostility have handcuff two tribes over the years. Medina was then silent, apart from the two Arab tribes Auz and Khazraj, in it is a Jewish tribe. Last Tribe did not involve themselves in the first battle between two tribes. As a result of hostilities, the two Arab tribes were more and more opaque, worse, concern and ruins.When the war which lasted chronic with no one party relented due to the prestige and pride, the birth of Islam in the city of Mecca, his neighbors, raises new hope. The Prophet (peace be upon him), finally, invited by some people who are fed up with endless war and hatred from both the tribe is to be a mediator. The Prophet welcomed his call, and finally went to Yathrib who later changed the name of the prophet became Madinah al-Nabi. Known for the next period as Madinah, or Medina al-Munawwarah. Earlier this change that we know with Hijrah of the Prophet, as an important point of the history of Islam and humanity as well, which immortalized as the beginning of the calendar hijriyah in Islam. The first thing to do when the prophet set foot on earth Medina is unifying the two Arab tribes who fought each other. The Prophet did not experience any difficulty in pursuing the most fundamental thing in a society, because the Prophet from his mother's side were from the tribe. Peace both of these tribes is the first pillar of Islam, namely muakhat (brotherhood). Everyone who acknowledges religion of Islam, he is akh (brother) for a Muslim other. And, the Prophet (peace be upon him) managed to unite the two tribes hostile to each other for several times in a single umbrella of Islam. No more high-status, and not some are lower, all the same, except the god-fearing. There is no brotherhood of eternal unless due to the same faith.Even at the same time, the Prophet introduced to their new brother from another city, Muhajiriin, people who emigrated with the Prophet from Mecca. Tribal identity is no longer highlighted and made pride, except that they were the original inhabitants of Medina is Ansor, the rescuers, and those newcomers as Muhajiriin.A new chapter of Islam has been formed, ukhuwah (brotherhood) between Muslims and the other one is the most basic joint in order to form a strong Islamic community, which is Islam that uphold justice for all God's creatures, which spread Islam to anyone compassion for all humankind, Islam provides a sense of peace to pemelukknya, for the brothers, for your own flesh and blood brothers, the brother of one country, and for humanity, whoever he is, whatever they are. This is Islam that upholds human dignity, justice and tolerance in society. This is all based on one fundamental teachings of the Prophet: ukhuwah Islamiyah.wallahu a'lam
